President Joe Biden on Thursday will present a six-pronged strategy intended to fight the spread of the highly contagious COVID Delta variant and increase U.S. COVID-19 vaccinations, the White House said on Tuesday.
The United States, which leads the world in COVID-19 cases and deaths, is struggling to stem a wave of infections driven by the variant even as officials try to persuade Americans who have resisted vaccination to get the shots.
Rising case loads have raised concerns as children head back to school, while also rattling investors and upending company return-to-office plans.
White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters traveling with Biden aboard Air Force One that he will lay out the six-pronged strategy 'working across the public and private sectors to help continue to get the pandemic under control.'
Asked about possible new mandates, Psaki said the White House would offer more details later about the plan and acknowledged that the federal government cannot broadly mandate that Americans get vaccinated.
'We need to continue to take more steps to make sure school districts are prepared and make sure communities across the country are prepared,' Psaki added.
On Wednesday, Biden is scheduled to meet with White House COVID-19 advisers.
The United States has recorded roughly 650,000 COVID-19 deaths and last week exceeded 40 million cases.
Reuters data shows that more than 20,800 people have died in the United States from COVID-19 in the past two weeks, up about 67 per cent from the prior two-week period.
Hospitalizations have grown, with seven U.S. states - Alaska, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Tennessee and Washington - reporting records this month.

No doubt putting more pressure on corporate America to mandate what he know he cannot.
We will see.
He should call it a 6 spiked program
No Joe. We aren’t listening.
I aint takin orders from a pedophile
I will get the vaccine when they discover one. So far it’s more akin to a flu shot, but doesn’t seem to work as well.
He better not do it on prime time and interrupt my football game. I am not real happy with the kneeling and political crap in the NFL but it’s some type of escape for me. Opening night.
None of this is up to him. The States and their government, state and local...it’s their call.
COVID is about the only issue a majority of Americans are in agreement with Biden.
Can you call it a major speech when no one listens and the speaker rambles dementedly?
Socialism is arresting if you don’t obey.
Communism is shooting you if you don’t obey.
We are now in full on Socialism.
It’s physically impossible for him to be up that late.
Then again, whenever it airs, it will probably be pre-recorded.
We will now witness the democrats go into full authoritarian mode. The mode they are most comfortable governing from.
Huh?
School already started...so when you catch up to reality, let us know.
You’re hopeless.
Someone needs to explain t corporate America if they mandate vaccines they will be sued by anyone having adverse effects. Some employees may well end up owning the company.
I have heard about “Joe 6 Pack.” Now we have “Joe 6 Points.” God help us.
Lock it down, Joe. I dare you while our borders are being invaded by every disease carrying country.
Going for Aussie style tyranny...
